Key Recommendations for Antimicrobial Resistance Surveillance: Takeaways From the CAPTURA Project

Abstract Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a growing global public health challenge associated with 4.95 million deaths in 2019 and an estimated 10 million deaths per year by 2050 in the absence of coordinated action. A robust AMR surveillance system is therefore required to avert such a scenario. B...

Summary:Abstract Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a growing global public health challenge associated with 4.95 million deaths in 2019 and an estimated 10 million deaths per year by 2050 in the absence of coordinated action. A robust AMR surveillance system is therefore required to avert such a scenario. Based on an analysis of country-level AMR data in 8 Capturing Data on Antimicrobial Resistance Patterns and Trends in Use in Regions of Asia (CAPTURA) countries, we present a list of key recommendations to strengthen AMR surveillance. We propose 10 primary considerations under 3 broad categories, including recommendations on (1) laboratory and testing practices, (2) data management and analysis, and (3) data use. Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a rapidly growing global public health challenge. AMR data entry, management, analysis, and use need extensive improvement and quality assurance. Stakeholders including government agencies have a critical role in strengthening sustainable and robust AMR surveillance systems.
